    #' @param starts3 Starting values as a vector (num). For this likelihood,
    #'     the order takes: c([alternative-specific parameters],
    #'     [travel-distance parameters]). \cr \cr
    #'     The alternative-specific parameters and travel-distance parameters
    #'     are of length (# of alternative-specific variables) and (# of
    #'     travel-distance variables) respectively.
    #' @param dat Data matrix, see output from shift_sort_x, alternatives with
    #'     distance.
    #' @param otherdat Other data used in model (as a list containing objects
    #'     `intdat` and `griddat`). \cr \cr
    #'     For this likelihood, `intdat` are "travel-distance variables", which
    #'     are alternative-invariant variables that are interacted with travel
    #'     distance to form the cost portion of the likelihood. Each variable
    #'     name therefore corresponds to data with dimensions (number of
    #'     observations) by (unity), and returns a single parameter. \cr \cr
    #'     In `griddat` are "alternative-specific variables", that vary across
    #'     alternatives, e.g. catch rates. Each variable name therefore
    #'     corresponds to data with dimensions (number of observations) by
    #'     (number of alternatives), and returns a single parameter for each
    #'     variable (e.g. the marginal utility from catch). \cr \cr
    #'     For both objects any number of variables are allowed, as a list of
    #'     matrices. Note the variables (each as a matrix) within `griddat` and
    #'     `intdat` have no naming restrictions. "Alternative-specific
    #'     variables" may correspond to catches that vary by location, and
    #'     "travel-distance variables" may be vessel characteristics that affect
    #'     how much disutility is suffered by traveling a greater distance. Note
    #'     in this likelihood "alternative-specific variables" vary across
    #'     alternatives because each variable may have been estimated in a
    #'     previous procedure (i.e. a construction of expected catch). \cr \cr
    #'     If there are no other data, the user can set `griddat` as ones with
    #'     dimension (number of observations) by (number of alternatives) and
    #'     `intdat` variables as ones with dimension (number of observations) by
    #'     (unity).
    #' @param alts Number of alternative choices in model as length equal to
    #'     unity (as a numeric vector).
